[discussion by famous experts] ① in the compendium of Medical Sciences, it is said that "the complex stone has a gentle smell, and its main function is that the muscles and bones are swollen due to wind heat, and become white and resistant to aging. Take it and soak it in wine. "

② "To match Materia Medica": "complex stone, with Shegan, mountain gardenia, treatment of toxic gas attack throat. With ginseng, Ling and Longgu, it is very important to treat turbidity. "

③ Yaoyaofenji: "the skill of complexing stone is specialized in relaxing muscles and activating collaterals. If the patient's tendons and veins are cramped and difficult to stretch and bend, it is effective and should not be ignored. "

④ "Materia medica justice": "the smell of complex stone" is called "bitter and warm" in the book of Materia Medica, which is covered by the function of dredging meridians and activating blood circulation, so it is considered as "warm". However, the indications of this classic are purely febrile, but not warm. Therefore, bielu was changed to mild cold, while Yulan quoted Li dangzhi as saying that it was also very cold. This thing is good at walking meridians and reaching limbs and joints. This is the meaning of "Ben Jing" for wind heat and dead muscles, and "BIE Lu" for nourishing kidney, waist and hip pain, strengthening tendons and benefiting joints. Its treatment of carbuncle swelling, laryngoglossal swelling, dry mouth and burning tongue, all have the function of relieving pain and cold. In bielu, it is said that the evil heat is the key to eliminate the evil Qi. The two words of evil Qi in Ben Jing and BIE Lu are the most comprehensive. In fact, they have their own ideas. They are not general words. The reader should take the opposite meaning and realize it. They should not be confused with one example. However, the four words of "great surprise" are not easy to understand and should be doubted. "Su Gong said that the treatment of postpartum blood stasis is good, covering with blood stasis and dew obstruction, bitter discharge and breaking blood stasis, and good at dredging collaterals, is based on the main. Also known as the main snake sore poison heart depression, then Qingre xiejianjiang, solid detoxification of good medicine. It's also called "knife and axe wound sores". If it is applied to Li Huang, it can also be used to treat the Shen Dan of promoting blood circulation. Zang Qi is the main wind, that is to say, Ben Jing treats wind heat and dead muscles, and BIE Lu benefits joints. Today, it can be used to relax and activate collaterals, and to relieve arthralgia.
